Best Selling Author Donna Fletcher Crow, Novelist Of British History, Announces Interview With Kishanda Fulford On Reading Jane Austen, Ghosts, And Life In Great Fulford

    WILMINGTON, NC, December 04, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Award-winning Donna Fletcher Crow recently interviewed Kishanda Fulford after her co-blogger Fay Simpson reported on her experience visiting Great Fulford. Crow noticed that Kishanda is a very popular topic on her blog and then wrote a blog wondering whether or not Kishanda might be a Janeite.

Crow and Fulford discussed reading habits, Jane Austen and then delved into the topic of the Fulford mansion. The full interview is available at Crow's site at http://www.donnafletchercrow.com in The Authorized Version blog section.

Crow was delighted with the interview, stating, "Getting to know Kishanda has been a delightful and surprising journey--from this mystery name that kept topping my website searches, through reading about her and her family's notorious reputation online, to enjoying a thoroughly charming conversation with her via cyberspace. It's truly been a lesson in not judging a person by media hype.

"It turns out Kishanda is a writer herself. Her biography on her husband's American ancestress Louisa Carolina Colleton is to be published in early 2022. I can't wait--this Regency heroine sounds like a lady worthy to be a Jane Austen character."
